Why are there so many vids of scrawny, often mixed-gender Britcop teams putting themselves in awfully low-priority-looking scenarios where they're outnumbered and out of sight of any lines of support?

Uhh why the hell didn't those brit cops pick that son of a bitch and slam him on the ground? You fuckers really need to get some tasers. You get one order to put your hands behind your back and then the taser comes out. Then it's a do it or get tased and if I don't get an immediate response it's time to ride the lightning.

Probably because if they did that then they'd either have been attacked by the mob that was forming, or they'd be in even hotter water than they are now. Yes, they are actually being investigated because of this incident and the media are spinning police brutality stories like they're going out of fashion. Plus, body slams just aren't cricket

I don't literally mean a Hulk Hogan powerslam but grab their legs and dump them on the ground. I did laugh at "He's on the drugs!" I'm going to start using that.

I've seen people taken to the ground for far less than that here. In fact, what's being taught now is to respond to an active resister with immediate and overwhelming force to stop the fight before it starts. Usually that means a taser, but sometimes it means grab the neck and take them straight down to the ground."You are on the drugs, officer."

In my part-time professional opinion, that officer was on Cocaine and possibly PCP. Really no need to crack out the CS or baton him though, could have dealt with that pretty easily with his ridged cuffs.

Bernard McFacknutah posted:In my part-time professional opinion, that officer was on Cocaine and possibly PCP. Our policy is to only cuff once he is under control and that doesn't look like he's under control. I most likely would've done something similar. It's clear that they're in a position where they can't control his arms or body because he's bunched up using a good centre of gravity and knows how to use his muscles for maximum resistance. Spray would've been my go-to tool to deal with the fella. I also would've been yelling in my radio for backup constantly, something that I can't remember seeing either of them do

I'm guessing that they probably have already called for backup and transport simply by the fact that people have had time to congregate. In the Met you'd have support in less than 4 minutes in the middle of the day but I've no idea how long TV have to wait. We get taught to get the cuffs on a wrist ASAP and use the cuffs to maneuver them about and put them on the floor, which they to exceptionally well in my experience. During training I was getting floored by tiny female officers. Because I was the biggest guy in the class I got used for every demonstration and I'm acutely aware of how loving painful they are when someone is pushing them against the back of the wrist. I doubt I would use CS that close to the target because I would end up 'gassed' and not able to see the crowd around me. Also we get in the poo poo if the CS is deployed closer than a meter because it can blind. Can always spray it in your hand and wipe it on his face.

Steel bracelet takedowns are legit but they're a gamble. If you lose your grip the dickbag now has a weapon attached to his wrist. I'm down with the baton in this case. Too close to gas, just right to stroke. I was lovin the color commentary. "This officer's on the cocaine!"

Cuffs work great most of the time, but its all pain based, I've fought with people just too drunk/high to have them work.

Apparently we won't get issued with PAVA because of the re-training costs. Every vehicle has an extra fire extinguisher to deal with dogs, although it doesn't seem to work for long. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelargonic_acid_vanillylamide It's one of the agents in Pepper spray and it's meant to be loving agonizing and an awful lot more effective than CS, which is garbage and won't deter any really determined attacker. I should know because I've been gassed about 3 times now. If you lot are desperate for a picture of me in a beat helmet and mustache I can take a fake one in to the station and have a picture taken. You won't get it till next Friday though, I'm on leave.

I've been PAVA'd twice and gassed once. I can say that whilst gas is a lot messier and makes your face run, PAVA just affects your eyes and is about 500x more painful. It also works on dogs, as opposed to OC / CS which more than occasionally doesn't

Don't know if it's true but apparently CS isn't allowed to be used around horses because the smell makes them go radio rental. Personally I would jump at the chance to see mounted division go on some sort of CS induced blitzkrieg next time they are at a public event.

Until recently i didn't rate mounted police in non public order events, they were first on scene to a theft/housebreaking debacle. From witness accounts it was a tremendous sight seeing the 2 horses galloping down the road, especially for the 2 good folk trying to apprehend the naughty fellow.
